Aramark Healthcare+ has launched a new store at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology and located near the main café dining area.
This marks the first Texas hospital to implement Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology and the second fully autonomous micro market within Houston Methodist. The 150 square foot store provides a variety of convenience snacks, beverages, healthy options, and microwaveable frozen meals.
David Hanson, Vice President of Operations at Aramark Healthcare+, said, “The Aramark Healthcare+ team is thrilled to work with Houston Methodist to open Amazon’s first Just Walk Out hospital location in the state.”
“This store underscores our commitment to delivering cutting-edge innovation and unparalleled experiences to patients, caregivers, and guests 24/7.”
People enter by swiping their credit card at the entry gate. The technology tracks items taken from or returned to the shelves. Upon completion, guests can leave without waiting in line, and the chosen payment method is automatically charged.

Hanson added, “The new Just Walk Out store is helping us re-imagine how we can use small spaces to drive satisfaction.”
